ORIGINAL: WinsomeDefiance Honestly, I'm a chronic homebody who likes her life quiet and peaceful. To someone who likes to bar hop and go go go, I'd bore them to tears. I've also been known to hardly say a word to anyone for days, especially when I'm in the middle of a book or an art or web project. Compatibility makes for excellent companionship and this.. quote:
ORIGINAL: Zevar What one man discards’ can be another man’s treasure! Although, I thought that when quoting fortune cookies it was de rigeur to add "in the sack" afterwards so... "What one man discards' [sic] can be another man's treasure in the sack" When I was much younger, I got myself an "exciting" job. I took the job for adventure, excitement, danger... What was interesting was that the people (especially the best people job-wise) I worked with were all "steady types", they went to the same resort every year for their vacation, every Sunday they washed the car and mowed the lawn. In my immaturity I despised these people. I was going to increasingly outlandish places for my vacation, I had way too "interesting" a life to make time to wash the car on a Sunday - hell some Sunday mornings I'd still be dancing in a club somewhere! I was soo much more interesting, soo much better than these boring people. Then, it occurred to me one day that these people were "content". They were content in a way that I wasn't and part of me actually envied their contentment. These days, I need a little bit of "boring". A relationship that was all about the dungeon, all about constantly (desperately?) searching for new experiences would get boring very quickly. So now, I'm looking for a nice balance between "adventurous" and "boring" - and when I find the right balance I'll find what I reckon we're all looking for... contentment.
